Mumbai/Pune: 24th Published Forecast maintained of low rainfall 

Posted 25th August afternon:

Second time in this month  monsoon is observing ‘break’ conditions. (A prolonged break earlier in the 1st fortnight has already occurred over many parts of the country.) 

 Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab and Odisha have been impacted largely during this phase. (Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal have been the beneficiary and received moderate rains)

Despite rains over east and northeast India, the rainfall deficiency has risen to -9% and can reach -10% in a day or two. 

This August is heading for one of the worst hit monsoon month and can draw parallel with August 2009, a severe drought year.

 

Deficiency  in the main  monsoon month like August can adversely impact the seasonal performance.

Consolation: A cyclonic circulation is expected to form over Northwest Bay of Bengal on 27 th August. This system will pull the eastern end of monsoon trough southward and can reverse ‘break monsoon’ conditions. 

This cyclonic circulation will deepen and may turn into a low pressure area before moving inland on 30th August. 

The weather system will revive the monsoon activity around the weekend.

Posted 15th Night:

Gujarat:

The present Monsoon rains situation in Gujarat is not at all encouraging....

And the Numerical deficit:

Karjan Dam. At 50.61% of its live capacity, Dantiwada Dam. At 8.71% of its live capacity, Dharoi Dam. At 36.99% of its live capacity, Kadana Dam. At 44.05% of its live capacity, Watrak Dam. At 35.87% of its live capacity,  Damanganga Dam. At 62.95% of its live capacity, Ukai dam at 65%  of its capacity, 

Outlook: 

With such large deficit, the outlook needs to be extra good , to wipe out the negative. 

But, we see very little rain in all Gujarat and Saurashtra Regions on 16th & 17th , Monday /Tuesday.

18th , there will be increase in rainfall in South Gujarat Regions {Surat ( 20-40 mms/day), Valsad & Bharuch ( 20-30 mms/day), ...upto Vadodra}

19th & 20th we see the increase rainfall going into North Gujarat Region, with moderate showers upto Ahemdabad . Part and pockets in Saurashtra will get patches of  rainfall.

Patan will be hot, with little rain (upt0 15 mms) on 18th.

Decrease  (lesser rainfall) on 21st & 22nd.

આટલી મોટી ખાધ સાથે, નકારાત્મકને દૂર કરવા માટે, દૃષ્ટિકોણ વધુ સારો હોવો જરૂરી છે.

પરંતુ, 16 અને 17, સોમવાર /મંગળવારે તમામ ગુજરાત અને સૌરાષ્ટ્ર ક્ષેત્રોમાં ખૂબ ઓછો વરસાદ.

18 મી, દક્ષિણ ગુજરાત ક્ષેત્રોમાં વરસાદ વધશે {સુરત (20-40 મીમી/દિવસ), વલસાડ અને ભરૂચ (20-30 મીમી/દિવસ), ... વડોદરા સુધી}

18 મીએ થોડો વરસાદ (15 મીમી સુધી) સાથે પાટણ ગરમ રહેશે.
19 મી અને 20 મીએ વધારો વરસાદ ઉત્તર ગુજરાત પ્રદેશમાં જશે, જેમાં અહમદાબાદ સુધી મધ્યમ વરસાદ પડશે. સૌરાષ્ટ્રમાં ભાગ અને ખિસ્સામાં વરસાદના ઝાપટા પડશે.

21 અને 22 મીએ ઘટાડો (ઓછો વરસાદ).

मराठवाडा आणि विदर्भासाठी हवामानाचा अंदाज:

आतापर्यंत ऑगस्ट महिन्यात जास्त पाऊस झाला नाही, मात्र आता पुढच्या काही दिवसात मान्सून देशाच्या काही भागात पुन्हा सक्रिय होणार आहे. 

उद्या १६ ऑगस्ट पासून मराठवाडा आणि विदर्भ भागात पावसाचे प्रमाण वाढण्याची शक्यता आहे. १६ तारखेला मराठवाडा आणि विदर्भाच्या पूर्व भागात हलका ते मध्यम पाऊस अपेक्षित आहे (५-१५ मिमी). १७-१८ ऑगस्ट या दरम्यान बर्‍याच ठिकाणी हलका ते मध्यम पाऊस अपेक्षित आहे (१०-२० मिमी), व याच काळात विदर्भाच्या पूर्व भागात काही ठिकाणी मध्यम ते जोरदार पाऊस पडू शकतो (३०-६० मिमी). 

पिकांसाठी हा पाऊस उपयुक्त ठरेल.

Posted Friday 13th Evening:

Weak monsoon conditions are currently in August over large parts of the country. The rains are weak along the West Coast, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and  Peninsula. 

Weak monsoon conditions will last till 15th August and Monsoon is expected thereafter to improve. 

An off shore trough is likely to form off East Coast, extending from Bangladesh to Andhra Pradesh. Embedded in this, a cyclonic circulation will form over Northwest Bay of Bengal on 15 th August. 

This  system will become more marked and also move inland .This may further travel deep over central parts and later  northern parts of the country.

Hence increase in the rainfall along Maharashtra, Goa & Karnataka coast after Monday 15th/16th.

Mumbai will also see simultaneous increase.

मराठवाडा: विखुरलेला खूप कमी पाऊस. गरम दिवस.

-------------------------

The BB 7 system finally  fizzles out.. Towards the Western Himalayan region. 

Overall break monsoon conditions are expected over the country. 

In break monsoon, the monsoon trough over north India shifts to Himalayan foothills. This will result in increase in rainfall over parts of Bihar, northern West Bengal, and entire eastern Himalayas and northeast India. 

Also, weakening of westerlies over south peninsula will result in wind convergence over parts of Tamil Nadu, resulting in propagation of an Easterly wave. This would bring rains to coastal TN. (Chennai) around 13th,14th.
